TnT

TnT renders tree- and track-based genomic visualizations for interactive exploration and annotation of species trees and genome-browser data.

Key Features:

• Modularity: Modular architecture enabling composition and reuse of visualization components for diverse visualization types.
• Rich API: An application programming interface that supports construction of visualizations from species trees to genome browsers and integration of per-node data.
• Tree- and Track-Based Visualizations: Specialized support for tree-based (phylogenetic) and track-based (genome-browser) visual representations.
• Per-node Data Annotations: Support for attaching and displaying annotations at individual tree nodes.
• Interactivity: Client-side interactive visualizations enabling dynamic exploration and manipulation of genomic data.
• Rendering Technologies: Uses SVG and Canvas for graphical rendering of visualizations.

Scientific Applications:

• Evolutionary analysis: Construction and visualization of species trees for comparative and phylogenetic studies.
• Genome browsing and annotation: Visualization of genome-browser style tracks with per-node annotations for genomic feature inspection.
• Interactive data exploration: Dynamic exploration and interpretation of genomic datasets through interactive visual representations.

Methodology:

Implemented in JavaScript and renders graphics using SVG and Canvas.
